Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Death and How It Changed America
Ratings1
Average rating2
Short Review: This is a scattered book that is on the legacy of King's death more than King himself. There are three interesting mini-biographies of Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Barak Obama. And imagined interview with MLK Jr on his 80th birthday and a lot more.
There is some really good content, but scattered and not well integrated. This is the third book of Dyson's that I have read this year. The first two The Black Presidency and Tears We Cannot Stop were excellent. This was just okay.
